Need 3" Sewer Hose Wrench That Actually Works

I had the same problem until I greased all the fittings and mating surfaces with silicone grease. Don't use petroleum grease, it will swell the rubber gasket and make it harder to seal. Using cheap nitrile gloves also helps, giving a better grip.

starting to lose strength in my hands and as a consequence i have occasional trouble attaching the bayonet-type sewer hose to the sewer connection on the in the wet bay and the clear elbow piece at the other end of the hose. i've tried the orange Camco type hose wrench but they don't work well...they keep slipping. tried an actual pipe wrench but don't want to crush the plastic. looking for other suggestions or a sewer hose wrench that actually work.
